Well, following Ride The Sky being the initial premier in the ramp, we have finally got copies in the store. It’s the biggest release for the end of 2008 so come grab a copy of a future classic…..For an easy £15 too…..

Well, the biggest thing to happen round here finally happened. The Independent trucks team passed through Birmingham and paid us a visit at the new spot, and it was fun. For one, I am stoked to get into the store today without being served an eviction notice or ASBO due to the skaters getting a session going on outside the store and upsetting the neighbours. Seeing as some of the said neighbours have seen fit to contact the local dibble because of a few kids rolling through on their way to the ramp, yesterdays 3 hour session should have brought on a righteous tut-tut-tut fest.

Pictured left is Luke photo opping with Chris Haslam. And that guy ended up being the demo. What a ruler. The rest of the team were travel jaded but Haslam destroyed the ramp alongside the locals who sessioned hard and raised the roof on more than one occasion..and what do you know…it’s almost 11:30 on the thursday morning and they have only gone and turned up…signing off for a bit..

We got another event lined up for this coming Saturday….Sam at DC is going to be hosting a contest / BBQ on our ramp with prizes for skating and hot dog eating…..Yet another reason to pay us a visit at our new store…..Plus, inevitably, excitement is building for Wednesdays appearance of the Indy team….It’s going to be a good day so make sure you show up and represent your love for the Cross…..!

Rainy day updater : If you havn’t checked this little movie out already then do it now!
It’s amazing to see the amount of work that goes into making the raddest boards out there. Appreciate what you got when you get it!

Plus, as the sun comes out I get a call from Indy HQ UK. The date and time is confirmed at last! Check our Events page for details….Plus there will be some vert action at ‘Creation’ from 8pm. So sick!

As part of the Nike SB ‘limited’ program, Ideal is taking delivery of 12 pairs of the Shoe Goo Dunk High this month. I ripped the following text off of hypebeast.com as I havn’t as yet seen a pair…..

“The upcoming Nike SB Shoe Goo Dunk High is arguably one of the most interesting models out of Nike SB in sometime. There’s a thorough amount of detailing seen as the side panels are represented by a detailed duct tape print which was reproduced through the scanning of an actual duct tape arrangement. Also seen on the upper is a cracked leather treatment and although not seen through the laces, the thick nylon tongue features a red drip design inspired by the actual Shoe Goo packaging. Finishing off the whole package is a yellow translucent midsole.”

So If you want to cop a pair of these kicks then keep an eye out for updates on this site or register interest via 0121 224 7392. These Dunks will be sold instore only. Thanks.
